Illustration Friday: Repair

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Repair".

For some reason, my old Ford truck came to mind immediately when I read this week's topic! So, here's my sketch. Not exactly "me" driving, and not exactly the model of Ford truck I had, but that's Miss Daisy and Mister Farley in the passenger seat for sure!

"Chicken Farmer REPAIRED the ol' blue Ford just in time for the escape plan to be put into action!"

I, too, had a Ford truck. It was orange and I called it my little orange lemon... And in April I bought a Ford Fusion - my first car ever, but my Jeep's in the driveway for haulin and winter travel. Happy to see Mister Farley enjoying the ride.

I always look forward to your illustrations every Fri. You are so talented. We (DH & I) are "FORD" people but we haven't trouble with ours over the years. Our problem is our JEEP. Our name for it is "Just Empty Every Pocket". LOL!

When I was single I had a FORD car that definitely fell in the Fix or Repair Daily category. Dad came to my rescue many times:) After I got married my DH bought a FORD truck with an 8 ft. bed so we could do some renovating work on our house. We had good service from that vehicle. We only kept it a few years until we didn't need it any more and he gave it to his brother. His brother lived out in the country and could really use it for daily chores. He had it for a few more years and it was *found on road dead* (Thank you, Dotty, for that quote, lol!) It was only about 6 or 7 years old with low mileage! I guess it couldn't survive country living, lol.

Good Morning! I am wondering, what do you do with your original drawings? Do you keep them? sell them? create a storyboard?? these would make the cutest touches to little people's bedrooms or a children's library./... just a thought :)

So fun! Love the oxidation on the fenders, the chicken's wings wrapped around the steering wheel, and the fields of half-harvested grain. (That's just what they look like around here!) You can tell that you know dogs--their heads sticking out of the window and their tongues hanging out.

LOVE it!! I look forward to your illustrations, they are always so wonderful. My dad was a "FORD" man, and if it wasn't what you quoted above, as kids we would say "found on road dead", as did it happen from time to time, and we walked home on a few occasions! :)

I just took the time to look to the right of your page - where "Illustrations" is - the image of the girl stamping --- is that a stamp that can be purchased or something else? Would love to find out - you can contact me at BoPeep4159@yahoo.com
